Dear Recommender,
Please use this form to submit your letter of recommendation for applicants for the 2026 James C Gaither Junior Fellows Program.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a global network of policy research centers. In a complex, changing, and increasingly contested world, the Carnegie Endowment generates strategic ideas and independent analysis, supports diplomacy, and trains the next generation of international scholar-practitioners to help countries and institutions take on the most difficult global problems and safeguard peace. The James C. Gaither Junior Fellows Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is designed to provide a substantive work experience for students who have a serious career interest in the area of international affairs. Approximately 15 students will be hired to work as employees at Carnegie in Washington, DC on a fulltime basis for 10-12 months.
**Recommendations will therefore be especially useful if they speak to the student's analytical and writing skills, self-discipline and maturity, and, where relevant, subject matter expertise.**
The deadline for submitting the letter is noon on Friday, December 5, 2025.
If you have any questions or difficulty submitting your recommendation using this form, you can email it directly to Alicia Hayes at ourscholarships@berkeley.edu
Thank you!
